Ms McMahon mentioned diagnosis and the lack of information there and the big challenge faced by the cohort. We are unsure whether GPs are appropriately trained and whatever else. It is something that we, as a committee, could follow up on, certainly with Irish College of General Practitioners. On the availability of services, the national endometriosis framework that was launched in March was mentioned.

It is probably another thing about which we have not had an opportunity to ask the Minister as to how it is rolling out. Do the witnesses think the campaign should be an information-led one? Should that be a big element of it? It was mentioned that part of the campaign involves two supraregional centres. I think Tallaght and the Coombe are being talked about, reference was made to rolling out to Cork as well, and I think another area was mentioned, but is the EAI's idea that there should be one centralised centre? Is the EAI ruling out the idea of these supraregional centres? The big challenge many people have is travel. If you live in Donegal or Cork, it is difficult to get to Dublin and vice versa. The witnesses might expand on that idea they have.
